This thread from npub1xprjkak0k2hnsttzjgrch7pdrhdmx3shn4jr5eh3gwhttnhunmgsgvde7l (npub1xpr…de7l) gets at a lot of things I've been thinking about this past week.
https://indieweb.social/@emc2/110605324790119809
In all the talk about what to do in response to facebook, I've seen barely any discussion of what good or bad, or success or failure means for the fediverse. Facebook is a threat, yes. But in what way? What are the failure modes for us? Because those are the things we need to address.
The big one—the really big one—is fracturing the network. If the fediverse splits into one group that talks to facebook and one group that doesn't talk to facebook or anyone who does, both groups will suffer for that. And it's easy to imagine that both will disintegrate.
